Fixing The Cowshed After Losing The Cow - c122

#9

Every moment I met Taewoo and fell in love with him was all a dream.

I didn’t want to believe it. If it was a dream, it would have been better if I never woke up. Because the only thing waiting for me when I woke up from my dream was a hellish reality.

Sowon’s parents ran past the doctor and patted Sowon’s sobbing back, comforting him. The more Sowon cried, the louder it became.

“Sowon, stop crying. You’ve been passed out for three days. Then something really big happens. huh?”

“I-because of me, Mr. Tae-woo…” .”

“That person was discharged from the hospital and returned to Seoul. “Just worry about your body now.”

“Mr. Taewoo died… uh?”

Sowon raised his head and looked at his parents with a confused face. I could see a face full of worry, and behind my parents, I could see the doctor’s anxious face.

Sowon doubted his ears, wondering if he had heard wrong. The doctor, who noticed Sowon’s confused reaction, took a step forward and explained what had happened so far.

“After guide So-won Lee lost consciousness, Esper Kang Tae-woo’s body regenerated rapidly under the influence of guiding. Since it happened after a cardiac arrest, it could be said that he came back to life. “If the guiding had been just a little bit late, we could have been in real trouble.”

Sowon’s expression became increasingly mysterious. It was said that Taew’s wounds suddenly regenerated quickly. It is said that new flesh and organs appeared in an instant in his stomach, which had a hole so large that it almost cut off his waist.

“therefore… .”

Sowon, who had stopped crying, asked in a trembling voice.

“Mr. Taewoo… “You’re alive?”

“yes. Esper Kang Tae-woo is safe. “He returned to the association headquarters yesterday after his condition stabilized.”

Sowon froze with his mouth open. They say Tae-woo and Mr. Tae-woo are alive. He didn’t die. really really… .

“thank god… .”

Sowon muttered as he felt all the strength in his body go away.

Sowon leaned back helplessly on the bed. Tears flowed down my face, but I wasn’t crying because I was sad. I was so relieved and so happy that I cried.

The doctor and parents looked at Sowon who started crying again and looked worried. Sowon continued to sob, repeating that she was okay.

Perhaps because Sowon’s condition seemed unusual, the doctor and her parents, who had a serious conversation, decided to move Sowon to the guide center. After a while, Sowon, who had finally calmed down his heightened emotions, pulled out the IV in his arm and prepared to leave.

I guess it was true that I hadn’t come to my senses for three days, but when I looked at my face in the bathroom mirror, I looked really haggard. His cheeks were sunken as if he had starved for several days, his face was swarthy with dark circles, and his hair was bald.

“… … .”

Sowon was speechless when he saw the mess he was in. He was the exact opposite of the lively self I saw in my dream. This may not just be because he was unconscious for three days. It’s probably been like this since 8 years ago when I was matched with Taewoo.

Until now, he had never realized that his condition was this serious. She felt sorry for her parents and Tae-Woo, who must have watched her turn into a corpse. Sowon cleaned up his messy appearance by pouring cold water on his face and then came out.

When Sowon returned to the hospital, her parents, who had been waiting for her, handed her something. It was Sowon’s cell phone. After receiving the smartphone, Sowon immediately checked the date. The screen showed a date 8 years later.

Sowon couldn’t take her eyes off her smartphone the entire time she was traveling to the guide center in Seoul in her parents’ car. On Sowon’s smartphone screen, Taewo’s number, which Sowon had memorized in her dream, was displayed.

It was still hard to believe that it was all a dream. Rather, the experience of going back to the past was so vivid that I thought this moment was a dream. You could find out by calling this number. What is a dream and what is reality.

Sowon called Taewoo’s number. However, the long-lasting connection sound never ended.

-Can’t connect, so it goes to voice mail… .

Taewo didn’t answer the phone. In the end, Sowon could not hear Taewoo’s voice until he arrived at the guide center headquarters.

Sowon, who was admitted to the center, was guided to a special room as if it was a given. When she was admitted to the hospital, her wish was to send her home for three days, barely able to appease her parents who would have had a hard time taking care of her.

“Are you really okay with being alone? If I fall again… .”

“I’m really fine. Maybe it’s because I slept well, but my body feels refreshed. “Don’t worry, just go home.”

“If anything happens, you must contact me. got it?”

“Yes.”

Sowon’s parents looked at him with concern until the last moment he left the hospital room, but when Sowon pushed on, they had no choice but to return home.

After her parents left, Sowon began to move busily as she had planned in advance. After washing cleanly and tidying up my messy body and messy hair, I went out, wearing only the outerwear my parents had left behind for me to wear when it was cold.

Sowon came out onto the street and headed straight to the Esper Association across the street. Sowon familiarly approached the front of the elevator and was about to press the button, but he stopped.

“I wonder if Mr. Tae-woo’s private room is on the 10th floor here too…? ?”

Now that I think about it, I didn’t know the location of Taewoo’s private room. He said that in his dreams he had been in and out of the threshold until it was worn down, but he was not sure that he would be in the same position here. Sowon turned around and slowly approached the information desk.

“Hello, I’m here to meet Esper Kang Tae-woo. Are you in a private room now?”

“ah… Hello, guide Sowon Lee. Esper Kang Tae-woo is currently in a private room.”

The fact that Sowon was Taewo’s guide was already well known, so the staff did not check the guide’s registration card like in the dream. However, the employee’s expression changed mysteriously when he saw Sowon looking for Taewoo.

“I will call the Espers to protect you now, so please wait a moment… .”

“I want to meet alone. Can you just tell me the location of the private room?”

“yes?”

The employee was embarrassed. It was a natural reaction. Sowon had never visited him before, and he was so scared of being alone with him that he had a seizure. So, whenever Sowon and Taewu met, armed Espers were always with them.

“Are you sure you’re okay…?” ?”

Sowon nodded. The association employee hesitated, then got up and said he would guide me to a private room. At the same time, the way he was glancing at Sowon seemed like he was really wondering whether it would be okay for Sowon and Taewoo to meet alone.

Sowon quietly walked along with the association staff. And he watched the floor number the employee pressed after getting into the elevator.

10th floor.

It was like Taewoo’s private room, which he knew. Sowon’s heart sank, but he stared at the number getting higher, thinking it was just a coincidence.

It had been a long time since I had seen Taewu, who was in serious condition. It’s not a fantasy you created, it’s the real Taewoo. Kang Tae-woo, the monster I have treated horribly for eight years.

But what does he think when he sees himself here now? Sowon closed his mouth and was lost in thought.

“Esper Kang Tae-woo’s private room is here. Even if you go in alone… .”

“thank you. “I’ll go in alone.”

When Sowon answered calmly, the association staff looked at Sowon several times and then left. Sowon stood still in front of the private room door for a long time after the staff member left. I was scared to face Taewoo. Rather than being scared of his hideous appearance, I was afraid that he would not be pleased with the guide who had treated him as a monster for eight years.

Sowon mustered up courage and knocked on the door. There was no sign of popularity inside the private room. Since he wasn’t told to come in until the end, Sowon just opened the door and went inside.

I saw Taewoo’s appearance.

“Mr. Taewoo… .”

A man was standing by the window, his back turned to the red sunset coming through the large window.

The man looking at him with a blunt face had a colder and harder expression than Taewoo’s face he had seen in his dream. Dark red veins covered his face and eyes that showed no emotion. And a powerful wave that can be felt even from this far away.

I promised myself not to cry, but as soon as I saw his face, tears welled up in Sowon’s eyes. There wasn’t a hole in his stomach like in the nightmare that always tormented Sowon, and he wasn’t looking at Sowon with resentful eyes. It really, really felt like Taewu, who I thought was dead, had come back eight years later, still alive.

Taewo opened his mouth after seeing Sowon frozen in the same posture he came in.

“I never asked for guidance. Please go back.”

Taewo treated Sowon in a rather cold tone, but Sowon didn’t care.

Sowon took one or two steps slowly with narrow strides and then ran inside.

“Mr. Taewoo!”

Sowon hugged Taewoo. But suddenly, she felt a sharp pain that shook her whole body, and her vision suddenly went dark, as if her thread had been cut.
